Not So Pro 3

[GCJenks204]

Morning/ Evening All, Just need to get through this week and then a couple weeks off. Starting out at -7C/19F and headed to -2C/28f/ Will be above freezing by the end of the week. So far a great winter for the washer fluid companies…

@Woodrow Sorry for your loss Dan. Sometimes peace and pain free is the best we can hope for.

Prayers of peace for you and your family @Woodrow

Morning all. Woke to my doors being frozen shut on the truck. Fun times. 30f and highs in the 40s. Woodrow my condolences.
Any one contemplate how healthcare for us older guys is gonna work since the new breed can't find it in themselves to stay employed or do a decent job when they are? Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Good morning fellas. My Father passed this morning at 3:52 am. He is at peace now and no longer in pain. Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers.

Glad his suffering is no longer. He’s in a better place

It appears that everyone in this weeks class can read. Off to a solid start.

How about the mathes, especially of the Metric variety, that's the real important stuff!!

 

[JoeDirt]

Yeah, they certainly aren't what they were years ago

I bought a new set for Hawaii and was not impressed at all

My OLD ones are much higher quality

As soon as the black vinyl gets grease or oil on it it starts peeling. And its not a comfortable handle anyways. They don't hold up to being used as chisels either... handles will break off. There's a billion different good screwdrivers out there. There is zero reason to buy the Klein ones.

We are working on stair math in USA units. LOL

We actually had a minority student in last weeks class that came through a pre apprenticeship program. Turns out she has a very low level reading level. Hard worker. But really struggled with the class work part of the class. Actually sad to see someone struggle like that

These are the best screwdrivers I've used.



The older ones I have that have yet to be warrantied all have the Witte name on them along with Matco.

Yours appears to be in much better cosmetic condition than mine. Rarely do I do any three phase stuff. Just some variable frequency drives. Thanks for reminding me though. Do you have a Simpson 260p too?

Actually, I did, but no idea where it got to over the years

Those 2 together seemed to be the combo back in the day

Those and a clamp on

This was dad's old meter, I opened it up this summer to see what kind of battery it took and found this one

I can't believe it didn't leak and corrode

Still thinking of you and the family he left behind

I buy a new set of Craftsman screwdrivers every couple of years. Cheap enough that I don't cry if I break the tip off of one, and hard enough that that will break rather than bend.

a clamp on

For Dallas?
